Agreed. Quietest 40+ HR / 120+ RBI season in recent memory, hits both lefites and righties, home and on the road...Beyond the whole drug problem thing I don't see what is not to like.

I'd rather have Greinke, but it is not crazy to think the Cubs can't afford both.

The drug problem isn't nothing, though. Aside from the team's perspective, Hamilton himself might prefer a more low-key market and make it harder for a team like the Cubs to sign him. And there's still his admission that he has trouble seeing the ball in day games, which makes it less likely he'd be thrilled to play on the team that has the most day games in baseball.

It just seems to me the intangibles of his particuar case make it unlikely the Cubs could sign him without completely blowing other offers out of the water.

Not that I'm advocating we should sign him necessarily, but he did have an OPS over 1.000 in the day this year. I know it's below .800 for his career, but he has shown he can hit in the day. Also since when is .790 replacement level? Not saying it's worth 25 mil, but that's not replacement level either

148 abs is a pretty small sample size to declare that he has shown he can hit in the day.
